Police responded to a home at 3 p.m. Friday in the 7100 block of Shavano Circle for a welfare check and found Emily Butler unresponsive, according to a town of Frederick news release on its Facebook page.

Butler died of what appeared to be a gunshot wound, according to the release.

Police consider her husband, Kevin Butler, 50, a person of interest in her homicide, town officials said. He was not at the home when police responded and they do not believe he poses an ongoing threat to the public.

They ask that anyone with information contact Weld County Dispatch at (720) 652-4222.
